I say, to come through looking clean is to do whatever it is you want to the best of your abilities.

To come through looking clean is to show the masses that you don’t give a fuck; that you does what you does.

Please, excuse Odd Future’s French.

The first GOLFWANG 2011 tour date in San Diego. Sick.

Their forte is a specific brand of real talk.

People of all melanin counts reel back into their seats at the Tyler, the Creator, whose lyrics highlight upon fucking bitches with no permission and tending to hate shit.

Honestly, enough kids have seen Kids to know most of Odd Future’s lyrics are socio-economically unfeasible to consider.

Believing anything they want to hear, reviewers of the Odd Future collective often stop and cry wolf when something distasteful hits their palate.

It’s nothing new. Almost everyone has something to say about rap and rappers.

In fact Tyler, Taco, and Jasper claim they are not rappers. They are using the mediums available to be their own boss and incite others to do the same.

A “sigma cum laude graduate of Morehouse College, with experience writing about topics from politics to minority rights both domestically and internationally,” had something to say in response to their success:

“We are not sure who created Tyler Okonma, and what he is allegedly creating. No one should be laughing. . . This is not why we died for civil rights. Shame on these young, foolish children. — Reginald Howard via Hipster Runoff”

Tyler, The Creator – Bitch Suck Dick (feat. Jasper and Taco)

A look at the comments shows that people can’t decide whether or not Mr. Howard is just another one of Carles’ creations. For those who gorge themselves on McMedia and have yet to sit and listen, Bitch Suck Dick (and HRO) is a gag played on the masses who believe in anything and everything but themselves.

Best New Artist, Adult Swim show, and a Grammy entry later, Odd Future have come through looking clean.

They’ve sold out shows every direction of the compass. All without kneeling to mainstream labels; they merely use labels’ assets toward their own goals.

Why should I give credit to Tyler and Odd Future?

Why should anybody give them the time of day?

They work in-house, they don’t co-sign with big name rappers to get scraps of recognition, and their self-confidence fuels their drive to kill em all.

All good artists, especially those claiming to be indie, have confidence in their art because they have confidence in themselves.

Odd Future has had some of the trillest things to say in a while, coming from kids.
